In early winter, the weather is cold.
Wuzhi Peak is filled with cold mist. In the bluestone square at the foot of the main peak, there are seas of people, gathering in small and small groups, discussing something in low voices.
The square is a thousand feet long, and there is a high platform on the east side of the square. On the high platform is an incense burner with three people hugging each other. Purple smoke rises. Behind the incense burner, a row of square chairs are lined up like a long queue. All of them are of high quality. The green pear and mahogany wood will not be damaged at all even if it is exposed to water or fire.
In the middle of the square stood a long sword about ten feet high. Half of the long sword was inserted into the earth, making a tripod to the sky. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, white light shone, and a sharp sword energy rose into the sky. , stirring the void, above the giant sword, countless rusty iron chains stretched down and penetrated into the earth.
Yu Xiuming, Qu Zhengde, and Ouyang Ming walked side by side, came to the square, and said softly: "Master Ou, Master Qu, this is the place for competition."
Ouyang Ming cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Yu!" Then he moved his gaze to the giant sword and sighed, with a strange look in his eyes. Breathing in and out, let out the cold air in your chest.
Qu Zhengde took a look and his eyes flickered twice.
Yu Xiuming was kind-hearted and took the initiative to introduce: "You two, the origin of this giant sword is not simple!"
Ouyang Ming saw the cold mist in front of his mouth condensed into a circle of fan-shaped frost flowers. He raised his palm and gently caught it. The frost flowers immediately turned into cold dew. He asked softly: "Master Yu, please tell me, this giant sword What’s the origin?”
Yu Xiuming raised his finger and pointed at the sky, and said with a strange expression: "It is said that ten thousand years ago, on a night of thunder and wind and heavy rain, a long sword came from the sky. The sword energy was powerful, and it went straight towards the bullfight, tearing the night apart. It was shattered into pieces, and the rain curtain within a hundred miles was cut off from it. A sword had the power to cut off a river. The earth trembled, and rocks rose through the air. The majestic sword intention was extremely pure and condensed but never dispersed. But the people of Wuzhi Peak , but no one was injured.”
Ouyang Ming thought for a while, his face changed slightly, and he said strangely: "It's so evil, where is the condensed sword energy?"
Yu Xiuming raised his chin slightly, glanced at the rusty iron chain on the giant sword, and said: "It has been sealed. The sword intention is too strong, and it is difficult for spiritual disciples to get close. Even the venerable ones, after getting close, the skin They all ached, and were sealed thousands of years ago by the Five Finger Peak seniors using the Nine Seal Sealing Technique. But to this day, every full moon night, a strange phenomenon that is unimaginable to ordinary people still appears in the square. "
He leaned forward, leaned into Ouyang Ming's ear, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Master has seen this scene with his own eyes."
While the two of them were talking, spiritual energy swirled in the square, and ten cyan horses flew from the top.
These ten rainbows carried a monstrous momentum, the blood on their bodies surged, and with the power of wind and thunder, the wind and clouds in the sky reversed, and there was a muffled sound of thunder. The hearts of all the disciples in the Bluestone Square trembled, and they subconsciously watched Xiang Changhong.
Almost as soon as they looked over, a huge spiritual consciousness suddenly swept across from the snow-capped mountain top.
Those who were swept away by this spiritual consciousness could not help but tremble...
It was a kind of absolute coercion from a powerful person, which seemed to be able to dry up a person's body and annihilate their soul. Just a thought or a look could destroy both body and soul.
This is the Venerable. Even a look in his eyes carries the power of heaven and earth.
There is only one thought in the Wuzhi Peak disciple's mind. How could so many venerables appear at the same time while flying in the physical body
These ten figures landed on the high platform at the same time. Venerable Tiandao waved his sleeves and said softly: "Everyone, please take a seat."
Venerable Ai Hongli took a step forward and said softly: "Then I will be disrespectful!" As soon as the voice fell, he sat in the first seat on the right.
Venerable Chi Ningyun was dressed in white clothes like snow, with fair skin like the most perfect white jade mutton fat, and green hair like a waterfall, flowing down softly. He moved lightly with lotus steps and sat next to Venerable Zhiming.
Venerable Qiu Chengwang of the Paradise of Rebirth is dressed in rich clothes and has a handsome face.
He shook the fan gently in his hand, and there was a picture of Dunhuang Flying in the Sky painted on it. He glanced at Lord Ningyun, with a hint of admiration hidden in his eyes.
The strong men of the nine major sects in Danzhou were sitting on the left, especially the Master Taihe of the Sword Sect. His face was as carved as a knife and an axe, with a long sword hanging on his waist. An aura of uprightness spread out, and his whole person was like a man. Like a long sword stained with blood.
Venerable Yu Qi sat next to Venerable Tiandao, looking at the giant sword in the bluestone square, and chuckled: "Venerable Tiandao, every time I see this giant sword, I have lingering fear. It seems that this giant sword is There is more power than I know."
Venerable Tiandao shook his head with a smile and said: "Venerable Yu Qi, it is rumored that there is an amazing inheritance in this giant sword, but I have been searching for it for many years in Wuzhi Peak, but I don't even have a clue. I guess it is just spreading rumors."
Ai Hongli tapped the chair surface with his fingers and chuckled: "Master Tiandao, the time is almost up, let's start the competition!"
After Venerable Tiandao pondered, he patted his palm lightly, and immediately an old man with gray hair and childish face walked into the field. He had a kind face, bowed slightly, and said with a hearty smile: "I, Marquis Li Qing of Wuzhi Peak, have met all of you. I will preside over this forging competition." His voice was not loud, but there was a spiritual power contained in it that everyone in the square could hear clearly.
Listening to this voice, Yu Xiuming's face looked slightly regretful.
If it weren't for Ouyang Ming, he would have been the candidate for this big competition with Zhangzhou Forging. A slight thought forced him to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
Li Qinghou looked around and saw that no one had any objections. He cupped his fists and said, "Master Ou, Master Qu, please!"
Ouyang Ming glanced at Qu Zhengde, with fighting spirit surging in his eyes, and chuckled: "Master Qu, be careful, I won't hold back."
Qu Zhengde's eyes flashed and he said solemnly: "Me too!"
A majestic fighting spirit condensed out, rising step by step. From this moment on, the two people started to fight from the words.
Li Qinghou saw the two people's momentum gathering little by little, his pupils shrank slightly, and he sighed secretly. He was indeed the most outstanding blacksmith in the two states. The sultry aura he showed alone was already extraordinary. Above this momentum, The confrontation made people feel frightened.
Suppressing this thought, he said in a deep voice: "The art of forging is extremely patchy and has many side systems, but the most important test for a blacksmith's skills is the forging suit. This time, the content of the forging competition is the forging suit. Okay, let's talk. No more words, let’s start now.”
As the sound echoed, the square fell into a strange silence. Only the wind whimpered, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Ming and Qu Zhengde.
Ouyang Ming exhaled a breath of cold air, and with a thought, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in his hand lit up.
A searing wave of air reverberated, and the air above the flames became strangely distorted.
Qu Zhengde's face changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, the temperature is so high, it must be very fast to forge equipment with this kind of flame, right
He no longer hesitated, a shadow of flame was reflected in his eyes, and a white flame appeared in the palm of his hand, as transparent as snow. His spiritual energy burst out from the palm of his hand, and the white flame suddenly burned, but strangely, the flame There was no temperature at all, instead there was a chill.
Venerable Tiandao's expression changed slightly and he said, "Venerable Ai, you are hiding so deeply that it is actually the Flame of Winter."
Venerable Yu Qi's pupils shrank slightly and he whispered: "Venerable Heavenly Sword, did you read that correctly? Is it really the Flame of Winter?"
"Yes, it is the Flame of Winter. This flame took a hundred years to be taken out from the bottom of the Eastern Cold Sea. The sword was slanted and the equipment was forged with coldness to achieve a delicate balance. There is a 30% chance of improving the grade of the equipment. First level." Venerable Ai Hongli explained with a smile on his face.
Venerable Danzhou all took in a breath and looked at Qu Zhengde with a little more solemnity.
Ouyang Ming was already familiar with forging equipment. His spiritual power was transmitted to his fingertips, and suddenly the flames in his hands were huge. He had obviously activated the Tianfeng Fire to the extreme, and clusters of flames were beating in his palms.
Suddenly, Ouyang Ming's eyes condensed, his aura sank into his body, he sat upright, and stepped into the meticulous realm of the unity of nature and man.
Many kinds of precious weapon refining materials melt quickly. These materials are all precious materials collected in Wuzhi Peak. There are even several types that can be described as marketable but priceless. They can only be bartered. Only It would only come out in a big competition like Danzhou and Zhangzhou. Normally, even if Yu Xiuming wanted to get it, he would have to spend a lot of effort.
Qu Zhengde did not sink his momentum into his body like Ouyang Ming. Instead, his fingers were like flying, giving people a sense of majesty.
Even so, he has stepped into the realm of harmony between nature and man, and is meticulous in every detail. Every movement gives people a sense of roundness, as if there is a little more or a little less, and it will not be so round and perfect.
"You are truly worthy of being a master of blacksmithing. His state of mind is so profound." A disciple of Wuzhi Peak shook his head and sighed softly.
"Well, no wonder he is a blacksmith master at such a young age."
Especially the forging masters from various sects who were watching the battle at this moment, their faces showed strong envy. They were extremely envious of the unity of nature and man, and the meticulousness.
Once you reach this state, you can control every trace of flame freely and meticulously.
Light gathered in Qu Zhengde's eyes, and he continued to use special forging techniques. White flames danced at his fingertips. Soon, a shoulder guard slowly formed, extremely brilliant. Qu Zhengde's face did not change at all. With a few movements of his wrist, a delicate The brocade box appeared out of thin air, rolled by the wind, and the blood stone shot out like blood light.
Looking from a distance, Qu Zhengde was shrouded in a red mist.
Those who are weak-willed will have all kinds of thoughts rolling around in their minds, their eyes will be red, and they will fall into nightmares.
The venerable people on the high platform simultaneously exclaimed: "This... this is actually a blood stone?"
Venerable Tiandao flicked his sleeves, and there was already a cold look on his face. He snorted coldly: "Venerable Ai, this is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? Master Ou is at a disadvantage when this kind of gem is refined into equipment!"
Venerable Yu Qi also said strangely: "Yes, the extraordinary stone's improvement in equipment attributes is so great that it is difficult to describe." He also looked at Ai Hongli with a slightly unkind look, waiting for his explanation.
Ai Hongli was also confused and said with a wry smile: "Master Tian Sword, I don't know what's going on."
